With significant new and updated content across dozens of chapters,
this second edition presents the most exhaustive treatment
available of the techniques psychologists and others have developed
to help them pursue a shared understanding of why humans think,
feel, and behave the way they do. Â The initial chapters in
this indispensable three-volume handbook address broad,
crosscutting issues faced by researchers: the philosophical,
ethical, and societal underpinnings of psychological
research. Next, chapters detail the research planning
process, describe the range of measurement techniques that
psychologists most often use to collect data, consider how to
determine the best measurement techniques for a particular purpose,
and examine ways to assess the trustworthiness of measures. Â
Additional chapters cover various aspects of quantitative,
qualitative, neuropsychological, and biological research designs,
presenting an array of options and their nuanced distinctions.
Chapters on techniques for data analysis follow, and important
issues in writing up research to share with the community of
psychologists are discussed in the handbook’s concluding
chapters. Â Among the newly written chapters in the second
edition, the handbook’s stellar roster of authors cover
literature searching, workflow and reproducibility, research
funding, neuroimaging, various facets of a wide range of research
designs and data analysis methods, and updated information on the
publication process, including research data management and
sharing, questionable practices in statistical analysis, and
ethical issues in manuscript preparation and authorship.
Heavy drinking - and its associated problems - are an integral part
of many college students' and other young adults' lives. Though
some young drinkers are able to consume alcohol without incident,
many face significant negative fallout from their excessive
consumption. This volume in the series Advances in Psychotherapy:
Evidence-Based Practice describes the nature of alcohol misuse, its
epidemiology, its causes, and methods for treatment, specifically
as they pertain to college students and other young adults. It
provides practitioners and trainees with a range of evidence-based
treatment approaches to help clients change their alcohol use
habits.The information presented is both thorough and concise and
will help readers with varied backgrounds and experience improve
their understanding of the many nuanced factors involved in
assessing and treating problematic drinking in young adults.
Substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs) have been
documented in a number of cultures since the beginnings of recorded
time and represent major societal concerns in the present day. The
Oxford Handbook of Substance Use and Substance Use Disorders
provides comprehensive reviews of key areas of inquiry into the
fundamental nature of substance use and SUDs, their features,
causes, consequences, course, treatment, and prevention. It is
clear that understanding these various aspects of substance use and
SUDs requires a multidisciplinary perspective that considers the
pharmacology of drugs of abuse, genetic variation in these acute
and chronic effects, and psychological processes in the context of
the interpersonal and cultural contexts. Comprising two volumes,
this Handbook also highlights a range of opportunities and
challenges facing those interested in the basic understanding of
the nature of these phenomena and novel approaches to assess,
prevent, and treat these conditions with the goal of reducing the
enormous burden these problems place on our global society.
Chapters in Volume 1 cover the historical and cultural contexts of
substance use and its consequences, its epidemiology and course,
etiological processes from the perspective of neuropharmacology,
genetics, personality, development, motivation, and the
interpersonal and larger social environment. Chapters in Volume 2
cover major health and social consequences of substance
involvement, psychiatric comorbidity, assessment, and
interventions. Each chapter highlights key issues in the respective
topic area and raises unanswered questions for future research. All
chapters are authored by leading scholars in each topic. The level
of coverage is sufficiently deep to be of value to both trainees
and established scientists and clinicians interested in an
evidenced-based approach.
